Abstract: The title compound, C₂₂H₁₈Br₂N₂O₂S, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P $\overline 1$ with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The two crystallographically independent molecules differ in the orientation of the aniline substituent with respect to the indole moiety. In both molecules, the S atom shows a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The molecular structure is stabilized by C-HO, N-HO, N-HBr and C-H [pi] intramolecular interactions and the molecular packing is stabilized by C-HBr, C-HO and C-H [pi] interactions.
